MONTEREY, CA \u2013 The Monterey Bay Aquarium\u2019s latest exhibition \u201cInto the Deep\/En Lo Profundo\u201d opens April 9, and it\u2019s already making waves through the mythological aquatic community worldwide.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can barely believe what I saw in there\u2014and I\u2019m me!\u201d exclaimed legendary Norse cephalopod the Kraken in today\u2019s exclusive preview. <\/p>\n
They were among several VIP entities invited to tour the Aquarium\u2019s new deep-sea gallery.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m so amped up I gotta go sink a brigantine ship or something!!\u201d added the gargantuan squid.<\/p>\n
Snake-haired Gorgon Medusa seemed equally pleased to see the exhibition after a long odyssey from the Greek Isles: \u201cOh yeah, the whole exhibit rocks\u2014well, maybe more so since I went through, but still!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI dropped everything\u2014helicopters, high-tension wires, skyscrapers, you name it\u2014to come and see this,\u201d stated Japanese kaiju and international movie star Godzilla, who had nothing but praise for the Aquarium\u2019s mix of never-before-seen video footage, ethereal soundscapes, innovative interactive displays, and world-firsts for animal husbandry. \u201cHonestly if you\u2019re still stomping around a metropolis right now, you\u2019re missing out!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCouldn\u2019t agree more!\u201d chimed in mythical ghost-whale Bake-Kujira. \u201cI don\u2019t want to spoil anything, but there are bones! BONES!! I usually say \u2018Boo!\u2019 to most things, but not today!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cInto the Deep\/En Lo Profundo\u201d is the culmination of many years of collaboration between the Aquarium and its science partner MBARI, the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, a leading oceanographic organization whose ships and robots explore the briny depths of \u201cinner space\u201d that many of the visiting cryptids call home.<\/p>\n
\u201cUtterly impressive,\u201d offered the colossal Arabian fish Bahamut, the foundation of Earth\u2019s support structure. \u201cI know a little something about heavy lifts, and this effort is massive in scale.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s exactly what I\u2019ve been waiting for,\u201d shared the Dark Lord Cthulhu, who made a special trip from R\u2019lyeh to explore the new gallery showcasing animals from the midwater to the seafloor, all adapted to survive the extreme conditions found in the deep sea, \u201cHonestly, it\u2019s what fhtagns are made of.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis kind of exhibition is a white whale if there ever was one,\u201d chimed fabled American sperm whale and open-ended metaphor Moby Dick, \u201cCall me impressed!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMost of my pictures turned out blurry, but I still had a blast,\u201d mused the elusive creature\/unidentified floating Scottish object Nessie, \u201cEven if I tried to describe how cool it is, I just don\u2019t think you\u2019d believe me.\u201d<\/p>\n
When it opens, \u201cInto the Deep\/En Lo Profundo\u201d will be the largest display of deep-sea life in North America. It\u2019s expected to run for many years, with a rotating cast of midwater drifters and seafloor staples, like giant isopods, to bring guests face-to-carapace with life from the planet\u2019s largest habitat that\u2019s rare-to-see but not rare-to-the-sea.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m just so proud of all my hidden babies getting their time to shine like this,\u201d stated a clearly emotional Yacumama, Peruvian goddess-serpent and mother of all aquatic beings. \u201cThis space is so full of wonder, it just draws you right in.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCommuning with the abyss brings a deep serenity I hope that everyone can enjoy,\u201d offered Mami Wata, venerated West, Central, and Southern African water deity and occasional mermaid. \u201cSeeing such otherworldly creatures and understanding the challenges they face\u2014not only to survive, but to deal with human impacts going forward\u2014it helps hold a mirror up to our reality so that people can see themselves as part of a larger, more profound web of life on this water world.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhoa, that\u2019s deep,\u201d chimed in Bobo, Monterey Bay\u2019s own cryptozoological ambassador. \u201cWe\u2019re really not fooling around on this one, even with it being April 1 and all.\u201d <\/p>\n
Bobo concludes proudly, \u201cIt\u2019s just so killer. Whale deep-sea you all very soon!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
